[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of flange-type sliders, specifically a flange-type slider. Background Technology

[0002] Flange-type sliders are mechanical transmission components mainly used for guiding and bearing linear motion. They are commonly used in machine tools, automated production lines, and industrial robots. However, existing flange-type sliders have some shortcomings and need to be improved to increase work efficiency.

[0003] Meanwhile, a flange-type slider with application number 202321853636.1 is characterized by comprising a flange-type slider body, a circulator, and a retainer. The circulator is disposed on both sides of the slider body, the retainer is connected to the slider body, and the retainer is fixedly connected to the circulator. The retainer is provided with a first guide rail and a second guide rail, and the ends of the first and second guide rails are provided with insertion strips. The circulator is formed with a first stop block and a second stop block, and the first and second stop blocks are provided with insertion holes. When the retainer is connected to the circulator, the insertion post is located in the insertion hole. This utility model realizes the direct connection between the retainer and the circulator, ensuring the stability between the two.

[0004] An existing flange-type slider achieves direct connection between the cage and the circulator by setting plug-in posts during use. However, in the existing technology, the friction between the slider and the guide rail is large, resulting in high energy loss, poor lubrication effect, and frequent manual maintenance, which increases the downtime and maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0005] Therefore, a flange-type slider is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a flange-type slider, which has the advantage of reducing the coefficient of friction between the guide rail and the slider.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flange-type slider, comprising a slider body, a groove at the bottom end of the slider body, a guide rail slidably connected inside the groove, a grease reservoir inside the slider body, multiple sets of oil drain holes on the inner wall of the slider body, the oil drain holes communicating with the grease reservoir, a square groove on one side of the slider body, an oil injection nozzle fixedly connected inside the square groove, a flange body embedded at the top end of the slider body, a bolt inserted inside the flange body, the bottom end of the bolt embedded inside the slider body and threadedly connected thereto.

[0008] Preferably, a T-shaped metal plate is inserted and connected to the lower part of the slider body, a top spring is embedded inside the T-shaped metal plate, one end of the top spring is fixedly connected to a limit block, and a ball bearing is rolled inside the limit block.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the slider body is fixedly connected with a reinforcing layer, and the material of the reinforcing layer is chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy steel.

[0010] Preferably, a dustproof block is fitted to the inner wall of the square groove, and a sealing ring is fitted to the outer side of the dustproof block.

[0011] Preferably, the flange body has four mounting holes symmetrically arranged inside.

[0012] Preferably, a reinforcing rib is provided through the interior of the flange body, and the lower part of the reinforcing rib is embedded inside the slider body.

[0013] Preferably, a positioning post is inserted inside the top spring, and one end of the positioning post is fixedly connected to the T-shaped metal plate, while the other end is embedded inside the limiting block.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model incorporates a grease reservoir containing molybdenum disulfide. When the slider slides on the guide rail, the weight of the slider itself and the external equipment it supports exert pressure on the contact surface between the slider and the guide rail. Under this pressure, the grease slowly seeps out through the lower oil hole to the contact surface, forming a uniform lubricating film. This effectively reduces the coefficient of friction between the slider and the guide rail, minimizing wear and energy loss. The molybdenum disulfide grease in the reservoir ensures that the slider maintains good lubrication throughout long-term use, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance and reducing the workload of workers.

[0016] 2. By incorporating ball bearings, this utility model appropriately reduces the contact area between the slider body and the guide rail, thereby reducing friction, facilitating the slider body's sliding on the guide rail, improving the slider body's service life, and reducing usage and maintenance costs.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a flange-type slider, including a slider body 1. A groove 2 is provided at the bottom end of the slider body 1. A guide rail 3 is slidably connected inside the groove 2. A grease reservoir 4 is provided inside the slider body 1. Multiple sets of oil drain holes 5 are provided on the inner wall of the slider body 1, and the oil drain holes 5 are connected to the grease reservoir 4. The oil drain holes 5 are inclined downward at a certain angle to facilitate the outflow of molybdenum disulfide grease inside the grease reservoir 4. A square groove 6 is provided on one side of the slider body 1. An oil injection nozzle 7 is fixedly connected inside the square groove 6. A flange body 8 is embedded at the top of the slider body 1. The bottom end of the flange body 8 is flush with the top end of the slider body 1. A bolt 9 is inserted and connected inside the flange body 8. The bottom end of the bolt 9 is embedded inside the slider body 1 and threadedly connected to it. The top end of the bolt 9 is embedded inside the flange body 8 to facilitate the installation of external equipment.

[0026] Specifically, a T-shaped metal plate 10 is inserted and connected to the lower part of the slider body 1. Two T-shaped metal plates 10 are provided on one side and are located between two adjacent grease reservoirs 4. A top spring 11 is embedded inside the T-shaped metal plate 10. One end of the top spring 11 is fixedly connected to a limit block 12. A ball bearing 13 is rolled inside the limit block 12. Multiple sets of ball bearings 13 are provided to facilitate the sliding of the slider body 1 on the guide rail 3.

[0027] Furthermore, a reinforcing layer 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slider body 1, and the material of the reinforcing layer 14 is chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy steel. Chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy steel has higher hardness, strength and toughness. Compared with traditional carbon steel or cast iron sliders, it can withstand greater loads and impacts, significantly improving the service life and reliability of the slider body 1.

[0028] Furthermore, a dustproof block 15 is fitted to the inner wall of the square groove 6, and a sealing ring 16 is fitted to the outer side of the dustproof block 15. The dustproof block 15 can prevent external dust and moisture from entering the grease reservoir 4 through the grease nipple 7, thus protecting the molybdenum disulfide grease inside. The sealing ring 16 can improve the tightness between the square groove 6 and the dustproof block 15 and prevent gaps from forming.

[0029] It is worth noting that the flange body 8 has four mounting holes 17 inside, which facilitates the installation of external equipment and allows the external equipment to be connected to the flange body 8.

[0030] It is worth noting that a reinforcing rib 18 is connected through the inside of the flange body 8, and the lower part of the reinforcing rib 18 is embedded in the inside of the slider body 1. The reinforcing rib 18 can improve the integrity between the flange body 8 and the slider body 1, improve the deformation resistance of the bolt 9, and prevent the bolt 9 from breaking due to excessive pressure.

[0031] It is worth mentioning that a positioning post 19 is inserted inside the top spring 11, and one end of the positioning post 19 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped metal plate 10, while the other end is embedded inside the limiting block 12. The positioning post 19 can limit the position of the top spring 11. When the limiting block 12 applies pressure to the top spring 11, it prevents the top spring 11 from bending due to pressure, thus avoiding the problem of bending damage.

[0032] Among them, the flange body 8, the top spring 11 and the ball bearing 13 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail; at the same time, this utility model also includes a power supply, a controller and a switch, etc., which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail.

[0033] Working principle and process:

[0034] First, the operator uses bolts 9 to install and fix the flange body 8 onto the slider body 1. Then, the slider body 1 is installed on the guide rail 3. Next, the external equipment is connected to the flange body 8 using threaded bolts. A syringe is inserted into the oil injection hole to inject molybdenum disulfide grease into the grease reservoir 4. Then, the T-shaped metal plate 10 is fixed inside the slider body 1 using threaded bolts. When the slider body 1 slides on the guide rail 3, the weight of the slider body 1 itself and the weight of the external equipment it carries will exert pressure on the contact surface between the slider body 1 and the guide rail 3. Under pressure, the molybdenum disulfide grease inside the grease reservoir 4 will slowly seep out through the oil drain hole 5 to the surface of the contact surface, forming a uniform lubricating film, effectively reducing the pressure on the slider body 1 and the guide rail 3. The friction coefficient between them is reduced, wear is reduced, and energy loss is reduced. The molybdenum disulfide grease inside the grease reservoir 4 provides self-lubrication, which enables long-term automatic lubrication, greatly extending the lubrication cycle and reducing the frequency and cost of manual maintenance. This ensures that the slider body 1 maintains good lubrication during long-term use, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance by staff and reducing their labor intensity. The inner wall of the slider body 1 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing layer 14, which protects the internal slider body 1 and improves its service life. During the sliding of the slider body 1, the top spring 11 pushes the limiting block 12, causing the ball 13 to contact the outer side of the guide rail 3 and roll, effectively reducing the friction between the slider body 1 and the guide rail 3, reducing energy consumption, and facilitating sliding.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
